Data and Result catalogs

Each Guardium® system can have both a Data catalog and a Result catalog. The catalogs list all archive files that were created on the server. Each time the system archives data or results, one entry is added to the relevant catalog. Each archive file is tracked, so that it can be retrieved and restored.

About this task

Catalog entries can be transferred between appliances by the following methods:

• Aggregation: Catalog tables are aggregated, which means that the aggregator has the merged catalog of all of its collectors.
• Export Catalog: Use the export function to transfer catalog entries between collectors, or to export a catalog to an external storage.
• Import Catalog: Use the import function to import one or more archive file records that were exported using Export Catalog.
• Data Restore: Each data restore operation contains the data of the archived day, reflected in the catalog entries of that day. When you restore data, the catalog is also updated.
